The ESC Local 20 Executive Board has approved and endorsed the open letter issued by our International’s leaders on Friday, May 29 in regards to systemic racism in our country. Our Local joins with our sisters and brothers in the labor movement who stand in solidarity for justice.

ESC and PG&E have agreed to extend LOA 20-04 for another 30 days – until the end of June. The LOA allows for hourly paid employees to work from home. It also specifies that when working OT meals, employees get the half-hour missed meal payment, but not the $15/20 meal reimbursement. So in short, all the current conditions will remain in place for another month. During that time, we will continue discussions with PG&E about the possibilities and processes for returning to the workplace and continued working from home. If you have thoughts or concerns around those issues, please contact your union representative.
